Airline Travelers Right to Know Act

This bill would require the Federal Aviation Administration to create and enforce a policy, within 180 days, informing airline passengers, pilots, and cabin crew about possible exposure to toxic fumes on commercial passenger aircraft. Passengers would receive this information after buying a ticket and would have to indicate they understand the possible exposure during ticket purchase. The FAA would notify affected passengers and workers when an airline confirms toxic fumes were detected, and airlines would have to tell crews about recent fume events and let them decline assignments on aircraft with unresolved issues without penalty. The bill also requires toxic fume sensors on aircraft, mobile oxygen masks for crew, and civil penalties, including $100,000 for missing reports.
